A scholar reveals the ins and outs of how research gets funded, including the checks and balances that ensure high scientific standards and financial integrity at every stage of a grant’s lifecycle.

Pathways involved in DNA repair and other cellular functions could contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s.

Trained with a joint understanding of protein and cell behavior, the model could help with diagnosing disease and developing new drugs.

MIT engineers designed polymer microparticles that can deliver vaccines at predetermined times after injection.

There are several steps between research on seemingly esoteric subjects and breakthrough medical treatments. Ethical oversight at every stage ensures science and society ultimately benefit.

Their study yielded hundreds of “cryptic” peptides that are found only on pancreatic tumor cells and could be targeted by vaccines or engineered T cells.
